Today I had my first day at my new job as a developer at http://pelagicore.com/. It was really interesting, and I got to try to touch my first C++ code too. I got the feeling that it will be really fun to work there. We are developing infotainment systems for the automobile industry.

Jesus tapdancing Christ, you're going to work with C++? My condolences! (...and congratulations on your new job, obviously.) I used to work with C++, but then I took a 4k/mo paycut to get back into academia. Because, monads. :P

Yeah, monads are cool, and: http://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/02/26/c17-i-see-a-monad-in-your-future/ :p but perhaps some day in the Future me and Jonatan will convince everybody else of the superiority of Haskell? ;-)
